Reporting bodies are required to disclose the relationship between the remuneration of the highest-paid director in their organisation and the median remuneration of the organisation’s workforce.

The banded remuneration of the highest-paid Executive Director in The National Archives in the financial year 2017-18 was £120k-£125k (2016-17: £125-£130k). This was 3.9 times the median remuneration of the workforce, which was £30,126, a decrease of 0.4. The decrease can be attributed to a decrease in staff numbers combined with higher level vacancies at the lower grade posts compared to prior year, together with impact of a bonus received in the prior year by the highest paid Director.

In both 2017-18 and 2016-17, no employees received remuneration in excess of the highest-paid director. Remuneration ranged from £18,000-£120,000 (2016-17: £15,000 - £129,000).

Total remuneration includes salary, non-consolidated performance-related pay and benefits-in-kind. It does not include severance payments, employer pension contributions and the cash equivalent transfer of pensions.
